Last modified: 2013-04-02 00:15:30 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) Description of problem: When setting the screen saver settings via 'control-center', it turns out that these are properly applied for the current session. However, when you relaunch 'control-center' inside the current session, it shows the default settings, and what is worse, the new settings are not applied after reopening a new X session. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open 'control-center' 2. Change screen saver settings 3. Close 'control-center' 4. Reopen 'control-center' 5. Check screen saver settings 6. Logout from X session 7. Login to X session Actual Results: Default settings of screen saver are active, in particular the DPMS settings. Expected Results: The customized screen saver settings should be active. Additional info: none
We (Red Hat) should try to fix this for the next release.
downgrading xscreensaver fixed it.
I have tried a bunch of previous versions of the 'xscreensaver' package, but none of them fixed this problem. So, which version are you talking about? By the way, the current rawhide version of xscreensaver is 3.33-3 which is rather an upgrade than a downgrade with respect to the version included in the 'Roswell' public beta release (3.32-4)!
